Health behavior

Sažetak
A typical way of life of most people involves many behaviors that may increase the risk of illness and injuries. Positive health behavior aims to maintain and improve health, and most important, to prevent the possible occurrence of the disease. Negative health behavior is any behavior that adversely affects the body and can lead to outbreaks of disease. This paper attempts to examine the health behavior of the respondents, determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in health behavior between health and non-health professionals, propose specific activities aiming to prevent risky health behavior and identify high-risk groups of patients prone to certain behaviors with negative health effects. The sample consisted of 50 health professionals and 50 non-health professionals randomly selected by specific categories: age, sex, education, shift work. Research method was a poll made for the purpose of this survey with 41 closed questions with multiple choice answers and instructing participants to circle only one answer. Statistically proven that health professionals in relation to nonhealth professionals rarely consume alcohol, eat more fruits and vegetables, with their first meal early in the morning. Statistically proven that non- health professionals in relation to health professionals more easily fall asleep, firmer sleep through the night and take their meals at the same time. Although the underlying assumption was that health workers have healthier lifestyle habits and behaviors, research has shown that there is no statistically significant difference in health behavior between health and non-health professionals. The same number of risk and protective health behavior identified in both groups of respondents and for this reason it was not possible to identify the risk group of patients.
